Awards season isnāt all golden statues and gushing praise. SomeĀ moviesĀ are just stinkers, at least according to the 2024Ā Golden Raspberry AwardsĀ nominations, which provide a list of some of the organizationās picks for last yearās least noteworthy big screen bombs.
Leading the roster for the 44th annual edition of the least distinguished films is the fourth episode of the arthritic action franchiseĀ Expend4bles, which got seven nominations, including worst picture, worst supporting actress (Megan Fox), worst supporting actor (Sylvester Stallone), worst screen couple (āany 2 āMerciless Mercenaries’ā), worst prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel, worst director and worst screenplay.
Hot on Sly and companyās heels were the gang fromĀ The Exorcist: BelieverĀ andĀ Winnie The Pooh: Blood and Honey, the bloody exploitation flick that took advantage of end of the 95-year copyright protection term on author A.A. Milneās beloved 1926 bookĀ Winnie-The-Pooh, with both films earning five nomination each.
A couple of superhero movies also racked up multiple noms, with the messyĀ Shazam! Fury of the GodsĀ and the confoundingĀ Ant-Man and the Wasp: QuantumaniaĀ getting four each.
The worst actor and actress categories are a mix of box office legends and action movie staples, with the men led by Oscar-winner Russell Crowe (Popeās Exorcist), who will battle Vin Diesel (Fast X), Chris Evans (Ghosted), Jason Statham (Meg 2: The Trench) and Jon Voight (Mercy). On the womenās side, Oscar-winner Dame Helen Mirren (Shazam! Fury of the Gods) is in a tight race with Ana de Armas (Ghosted), Fox (Johnny & Clyde), Salma Hayek (Magic Mikeās Last Dance) andĀ Jennifer LopezĀ (The Mother).
Lopezās work as a former U.S. Army operative on the hunt for her kidnapped daughter earned notice a the awards that have been razzing the Hollywood establishment since 1981.
